Dolce & Gabbana Uomini by Mariano Vivanco
Dolce & Gabanna are synonymous with glamour, sensuality, virility and masculinity, but most importantly, the Italian label has always been about celebrating the lineage of fine Italian craftsmanship and first-rate clothing.
In a new book, Photographer Mariano Vivanco blurs the line between blatant sexual appeal and admiration and reference to classical Greek and Roman sculpture, while finding the balance of artistry and desire.
Vivanco, shooting in both black and white and color, explores designers’ Dominico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s fascination with historical images of male archetypes and idolatry including the warrior, the sportsman and the hero, while also pay homage to a certain type of physical male perfection.
